If you were taken aback by the simplicity and spirit of the songs Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (who go under the moniker The Swell Season) put together for the film "Once," then you have probably been wondering what they've been doing with their time. It seems the pair has been quietly working on a follow-up called "Strict Joy" which is due for release on October 27th.
NPR Music has posted a few live performances of these new songs from their Tiny Desk Concert Series. The tunes, in their stripped down form, are humble yet give way to a sense of urgency that digs right to the soul. You can feel the generosity spill from these songs and their banter in between each performance. Beautiful stuff.
Feel free to take these songs for a test drive here: The Swell Season NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
